E. coli is an important indicator for faecal contamination of water. Getting results with a laboratory analysis can take several days. With the Orvion Udetect® E. coli water test kit, you sample and analyse on-site. It takes less than 2 hours to quantify the amount of E. coli in your sample. The E. coli test kit analyses the DNA in the water sample with qPCR. Quantification is fast, reliable and accurate.

The qPCR technology of Orvion Udetect® is suitable for E. coli monitoring for research purposes. We compared the performance of Orvion Udetect® with a laboratory based qPCR analysis and a conventional culturing analysis. It shows that Orvion Udetect® compares well to the laboratory qPCR method. The detection limit of Orvion Udetect® is low compared to the conventional culturing laboratory analysis and clearly differentiates between different concentrations of sewage.
E. coli water monitoring can easily be combined with our other test kits for faecal indicators such as Enterococcus, Bacteroides dorei and Campylobacter. Analyse and enumerate these important faecal indicators in one water sample within 2 hours.
“ We found the sample collection step of Udetect easy, and the absence of a thermal incubation step makes the whole method very fast. The analysis takes less than 1 hour”.
